Me and my boyfriend are graduating in May and we made the decision not to go to college. Instead, we're getting married and starting a family. We can't stand to be in school for four more years. And if we have to take out student loans, we probably won't be able to have kids until our late twentys and we don't want that. I have heard many horror stories about people having to delay starting a family for a long time because of students loans. I'm planning to work forty hours a week and he's planning to work forty hrs, which is just enough to get by. We don't want to be rich, we just want to be able to get by and start a family.

She still lives home with our parents and my other little sister that's 12. The problem is that she argues with my mom a lot. She's 14 though so technically she's too young to move out. I'm 20 and my brother and I moved out last year. He moved out with his gf and I moved out with a friend but I do visit like 4 times a week and to be honest my sister argues a lot with my mom. Really bad arguments that makes her cry. I know I'm just her big brother but I understand how she feels. My mom isn't the easiest to get along with. I felt like her when I was around her age but the thing is I don't have much money to let her stay with us and I only moved out for two reasons. 1. Because one of my friends at work was looking for a roommate so I moved with him and 2. To make more room in the house for my little sisters and parent since there 6 ppl at the time. I'm just wondering what I can do for her? I've already let her sleep at my house twice but I don't want to keep doing that since I know my mom will blow it out of proportion and feel like I'm against her?

My fiancé and I got into an argument recently which resulted into him asking me to leave our house. And said that I could not take our son with. He involved his mother, she said some hurtful things about me but the part that made me highly upset was she said I don't take care of my son. I've been a stay at home mom for the first year of our son's life. I take care of my son the majority of the time while my fiancé works. Up to this point I thought we had a decent relationship(his mother and I). She told me before I was a good mother and talked about how my fiancé needed to help out more often. But when things got heated, she said the complete opposite. My response to her saying that was "Don't ever ******* say I don't take care of my son, I do my best". Now she is going around telling everyone in her family that I cussed her out and threatened her. I asked my fiancé did he believe that was cussing her and he said he agrees with her. I feel very differently about it so that is why I came to ask if you guys believe that I cussed her out because if I did I will swallow my pride and apologize. But I feel like cussing someone out is intentionally trying to insult someone, I was not insulting her simply just trying to stand my ground because I felt disrespected.

Like she hitted me and forced me on a diet when i was 13, and she hit me when we went to an arab girl party and I made a mistake. SHE stressed about my beauty when i turned 18

My mother has always favored my siblings over me, I don't know why. I never gave my parents any trouble growing up, unlike my sister. My parents were equal partners in building a marriage that lacked healthy communication but my dad always provided well for the family & my mom basically did whatever she wanted. Several years ago she cheated on my dad and left him, after briefly calling her out on hypocrisy, I spent 2 years standing by her side as she healed from the divorce. I took her to multiple doctors appts & frequently checked in on her mental well being. She continued to be horrible to me in front of my kids. My dad, has never once spoken ill of my mother & has been supportive of me & my goals my entire life, mom checked out when I was 16. On two occasions, both in front of my children & house guests she started yelling at me, berating me and demanding to know why I still talked to my father accusing him of being a terrible person, which simply is not true. I finally established a simple rule that if she wanted to be part of my life she would have to be kind to me. She stopped talking to me for 20 months. She has since apologized and said she wants to rebuild a relationship, but yet she continues to ignore me & my kids while taking my sister's kids for dinners, movies, shopping. My children are so hurt by this. Do I address the situation or simply remove my family from her life completely? I fear confrontation would cause her mentally fragile state to worsen.

I am a 26 year old female with a two year old son. I currently was working at a doctors office and got fired. I was not really happy working there and have been pondering the thought of going back to school for diagnostic medical sonography. I currently live with my boyfriend and son at his mothers house due to the fact I lost my job and my boyfriend doesn't make enough money to support us if we left his mothers. I can't take living here anymore, I want my own space but I also want to go back to school and work a part time job. I just don't know what to do. if I move out I will have to work full time. the cost of living is so expensive and jobs pay like ****. I have been a bit depressed because I'm 26 and do not have my life together but my own car.I did go to school before having a child for medical assistant but I have learned this career is crappy and I no longer wish to continue finding work in this career. Can anyone make give me advice? I just don't know what to do. I can't keep living at his mothers it feels like a hotel with his divorce aunt and cousin living with us. I can't take it anymore. :( my son needs his own space I feel so cluttered.

I am 16. My Mom died in a car crash 10 days ago. After her funeral I heard my Dad who is my step-father reveal to his sister that he does not love me the way he does his own children and rather sees me as extended family. He also revealed when she asked about my real Dad that he had committed suicide several months after my mother left him to protect me from his drinking. I never knew this. I went looking for him last winter and found on the Internet he had died and my mother acted surprised. Turns out she knew all long. I was crying at her funeral Friday and now I am so mad (I learned all this Friday night). On top of this I learn my father doesn't love me as a parent, only like a distant relative would. I am an orphan all in ten days. On top of this I learn I am responsible for my bio-father's death as my Mom left him because of me (felt she had to protect me). No wonder his family has never sought me out. What do I do? I am 16 and have to go back to school today. I am so upset i am shaking and scared to tell my Dad (step-father) that I heard his revelation of how he doesn't love me as he will be mad. I wish I could die I am so upset. I want to run away when school is out. I am 16 and a high school sophomore. My step-Dad has been my Dad since I was 11 and he and my Mom had two kids and he has a son from his previous wife.

I've applied to go in a monastery in france because I currently am living at home with my parents and my situation at home isn't going great and I'd rather leave for a while. I'm 19 and starting uni in september and in the mean time I've got nothing to do, so I will be living in a monastery. What exactly happens during the day ? Will i be bored there ? I have social anxiety and have no friends and I hope I will be able to meet other people my age there. Do you usually pray a lot ? Any enlightenment about what is life like in a monastery would be greatly appreciated.

She and I are the same age my biological parents adopted her and she's been part of our family for a long time (I met her when we were 8) and she's always liked me from the start. She moved in to help me raise my kids (my wife passed away) and she's great but it's been three years (we're both 29) and I feel as though I have a new wife just because of how she acts and I keep remembering stuff she's said over the years about having feelings for a guy who is not interested and how she's content to just be there for him. She's even said that she's tried to get over him but she just cannot stop loving him. Essentially I'm starting to get the feeling I'm this mystery guy she's been talking about over the years and I think she thinks if she admits her feelings our whole family might reject her which is absurd at the same time I have no idea how our parents might react. What sealed the case as to whether I was her mystery crush was when I told her how good she was with the kids and she said "I don't want to get weird but I've been taking care of them for so long I've grown to love them like they were my own." The main reason I want to confront her is it's really starting to mess with my head. I keep looking at her and feeling aroused and then I feel shame and my feelings are really just getting more confusing and I don't know what I'll do if I do not address this I mean I might just cross a line we both regret crossing and it just feels like this needs to be handled delicately.

She was 12 when her aunt (the only relative supported mom) went working abroad and left her son behind because education is better here. Her mom took custody of him. Around that time, the girl appeared distressed... emotional outbursts, mean towards her peers, isolated, starved for attention, and became very attached to an older friend in a "big sister" way. She was also bubbly and outgoing at the same time, but that side seemed to fade more and more. She's 16 now and no longer showing behaviour issues, but told me how her mom can be bitter/angry sometimes. I think the kids got used to it by now. The aunt is coming back in 2 years. At the very beginning though, would those negative behaviours be contributed by having a single mom with no support? And someone she knew all her life suddenly leaving?

The time changed. In the past, life was comfortable. The economic situation was good. The wife could stay home to raise kids. Now a man with an ordinary job can never support a whole family on his own. The woman should help too.

There is this guy next to my job who has a big crush on me. Everyday he's looking at me and trying to talk to me sometimes we talk but it never last since we work at separate stores.. will when I go home I lay in bed and look at his Instagram pictures.. sometimes I fall asleep looking at them and he has no idea since he doesn't even know i found his page.. don't get me wrong my crush stalks me in person but I happen to stalk him online.. how to stop?

I have support from my family, boyfriend, and the government. If I do get pregnant, my boyfriend and my younger sister agreed to watch my baby while I'm at work and my mom agreed to watch my baby while I'm at school since she has a late work schedule. I can also get assistance from different programs to help me with formula, diapers, food, etc.

She is the black sheep and estranged family member. She is said to be a narcissist by her siblings. She has turned even on one of her five kids. I am seeing her tomorrow for first time in three years. I offered to come by my grandmother's and say hi to her but when she starts in on her hatred of her one son or how bad she thinks my Mom and step-father are then what do I say? I don't want to be mean but I also don't want to engage in gossip.

I am 22 and female. It is just my aunt and I. We are rejected because at 15 I told her my Dad was drinking too much and it was really upsetting me. He is a severe alcoholic. She offered to take me in and I wanted to but my mother protested. Finally, after my Dad crashed is car and I was paralyzed for a time in the wreck (alcohol related) my aunt took me in. At the time my mother, her sister, gave permisson. Now, 10 years later, my mother won't speak to me because I told the aunt about my Dad's drinking. My Mom insists I left them but I pleaded with her to stay close to me. She refused. My two brothers won't speak to me either and haven't said why (I assume same reason). My Dad won't and he is estranged from his family as well (not sure why). His family has never returned my outreach and I've never met them. My Mom's parents have died with one being 4 years ago (she still talked to me). None of my Mom's siblings will speak to my aunt and I anymore nor will my cousins. I am all alone other then my aunt. She and I are it as she never married so has no children. I don't have to ever work as I will inherit all she has and so it is just she and I alone each day. I enjoy being with her (she is absolutely wonderful to me) but miss having the rest of the family. Family holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas are especially hard for both of us. How do I get over this sadness? JenWales · ????? What ?????

I'm a very ugly girl, and I do all I can to hide my face in public usually... I hate photographs because I always look terrible, and I'm always trying to avoid really big social events. However, my parents, being my parents, always tell me I'm fine and insist on taking a crap ton of photos and recording videos of me, and they print it out and put it all over the walls in the house so I want to cry every time I walk past one. And that's not the worst part; they put recordings of me all over Youtube even though I asked them to please don't, I don't want them to, and they promised not to. It's really embarrassing because I don't want my ugly face all over the internet and every time I ask them nicely they yell at me and call me an idiot and keep posting. What should I do?

My grandpa had an ankle replacement a couple of days ago and it sounds like it s going to be a while before he can do much again. I live halfway across the country and can t skip school or work, so I thought I d send him a care package instead! Any suggestions on items to include? I m a novice at this...

So my husband and I got into this HUGE drama with my husbands family, where his mother harassed us every single day disgracing our marriage, trying to take my engagement ring back that she gave us, when we did nothing except not come over enough for her etc. etc., and it was taking a toll on our relationship big time, so we cut off contact with her. Thing is I just started a service where I paint people into classical paintings, and my husband's father messaged me and asked if I could make her a painting for mothers day. WHAAT THE HECK DO I DOOO?? Thank you for any response.

My mom's mood goes up and down, she can go from happy and excited to angry just as fast. She has mood changes several times daily and is really unstable, her opinions constantly changes. She loses contact with reality from time to time, buys alot of stuff (aka shopping streaks) and uses large amounts of money. She claims that my big sister who doesn't want anything to do with my mother is out after taking mom down (when she isn't), she claims we have ghosts at home and is completely delusional. She makes my little sister really anxious, encouraged her to do behaviours that are clearly toxic - like my mom wears lots of makeup and says that she won't open the door without makeup on and she tells my little sister that everyone will judge her if she doesn't do what my mom says (which isn't even true). I am just done, she is always «hurt» somehow to get more attention and tells it to EVERYONE. I felt bad for my mom when she dealt with kidney cancer back in 2010 but she has been cancer free since then but somehow always brings it up in every concersation ever, even with my friends who comes over to visit. Then she begins crying, everyone I know knows thst she had cancer. Every single person.

So if there is a really hot girl who's is like 5'2'' 5'1'' are there brothers like 5'5'' 5'6'' but hot?
